[edit] Community areas vs neighborhoods
All community areas are neighborhoods but not all neighborhoods are community areas. The difference is that community areas are a set and static set of 77 divisions. Over the years different communities have formed within the community areas to create distinct neighborhoods. It is this reason thertqertqwsdfafasddfafafafat community areas can be considered neighborhoods within itself. — oo64eva (Alex) (U | T | C) @ 06:07, May 13, 2005

I use this web site all the time, I am an appraiser, communities are not the same as neighborhoods and it is appropriate that these are separate. I agree with the comment above completely April 12, 2007 Diana
[edit] Northwest Side vs. Far North Side, North Side
I think this page (Neighborhoods of Chicago) gets wrong which neighborhoods should be included in the North Side, Northwest Side and Far North Side. Any areas west of the River, or, farther north, the North Shore Sanitary Canal, should either be West Side or Northwest Side. Chicago SlimChicagoSlim 17:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC) = ChicagoSlim
[edit] City of Chicago Neighborhood maps
Does anyone know the proper way to add City of Chicago Neighborhood maps to the neighborhood templates or to the pages. TonyTheTiger 01:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Community areas should be merged under neighborhoods Thomas Paine1776 23:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merger of Golden Ghetto
Golden Ghetto has been marked as not clearly identifying the importance of the topic since October 2006. It has been flagged for merger to this article since October also.
Is it going to be merged? Is it a notable term ie is there more coverage than a dictionary definition? Or should it be merged / redirected / deleted? Garrie 23:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well, it needs to be merged to West Ridge, Chicago. Speciate 01:03, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Colored Version
It would be better to have a colored version of the Chicago neighborhood map image. Colors grouping the neighborhoods belong according to the regional divisions in this article. KyuuA4 22:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've basically created just that, although it may require some tweaking to match definitions used on Wikipedia. My map is here—does this look about right? --Peter Talk 23:51, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wikitravel links
I've worked on the Wikitravel guide to Chicago over the past year and there is now a ton of content about individual neighborhoods on that site, which I think might be useful to link to. In particular, there are street maps, most of which designate the exact street boundaries of the community areas & neighborhoods listed on this page as well as the Community areas of Chicago page (I often drew upon these articles for boundary definitions).
IMO, it would be useful to link the individual community area/neighborhood articles to the appropriate Wikitravel Chicago "district" articles, but I clearly have a conflict of interest preventing me from doing it myself—I am not only a regular contributor and administrator on Wikitravel, I also am an editor of a commercial printed guide based on the free online Wikitravel Chicago guides. I am also rather inexperienced on Wikipedia—do others think that these links would be useful? --Peter Talk 00:00, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, it would be an excellent idea. After all, one page can't do justice to all of the issues involved in discussing neighborhoods, communities, urban change, etc. I, however, don't have the skills either. Kagillogly (talk) 20:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)kagillogly
